A german journalist in istanbul is getting in the white. House they lose their childhood on the force to commit acts of brutality more than a quarter of a million children around the world a kind of the one thing a soldiers youll hear from a former child soldier from sierra leone who escaped to jim and. We are just minutes away from the World Premiere of wes anderson that i love dogs but cyrano already have a special preview for you to stay with us and grab your profit margin. Im filled welcome to the program. South africa has a new president cyril rather poses the election comes a day after jacob zuma stepped down after his party the a. N. C. Ordered him to resign or face a parliamentary no confidence vote earlier today mr rahman poset was sworn in by chief Justice Mcgregor mcgregor. So. Thank you thank. You he was greeted in the parliament by dancing and the standing ovation. Thank you i. The countrys new president then went on to address the legislature on that and many of you have spoken about unity you know spoken about poetry or tism you spoken largely about how we can all Work Together to improve the lives of our people god has a great deal of resonance with i believe in and what i intend to do well they w. Our correspondent christine monde one has been following the story of force welcome christine so not even twenty four hours has gone by and the country has a new president just bring us up to speed and with that the sequence of events all right so now that it is official i imagine sort of also is going over a lengthy speech right now because tomorrow he is going to deliver the much anticipated state of the nation address this is when he talks to the South African public you also talked to to the world watching the understand of leaders from across the continent it is around the world will be listening into that speech hes made a lot of promises about some of the things that hes going to say in that speech and so there is eager anticipation as to exactly what he will say tomorrow ok so i dare say into the job and he gets to write the state of the nation speech who is Cyril Ramaphosa take a look. Hes made it a whole month of his Campaign Rallies we could tell you this is the least thats. Why he. Believes he saw all that was. John this is not. Some of his new president Cyril Ramaphosa had hoped that this would set him apart from his former boss jacob zuma but after nine years on to assume a scandal ridden reign as south africas new leader he faces many challenges ahead with a political career spanning more than four decades run oppose it was a close ally of Nelson Mandela and played a major role in the countrys post apartheid democratic transition more than two decades have now passed since the end of the racist regime but inequalities remain firmly entrenched south africa is rich in resources but many lives without electricity all Running Water health care and schooling remains rudimentary eight out of ten nine year olds are classified as a literate unemployment levels of sky high more than two thirds of young people are jobless Economic Growth has been pretty much stagnant and to zuma run opposer will be hoping to cash in on Foreign Investment since seumas resignation sent the rand soaring high that could also help generate more urgently needed jobs elected as soon as Vice President in two thousand and fourteen ram opposed it was never a lapdog hes criticizing him in the past but will have to rebuild a lot of trust for a population thats fed up of seemingly endless stories of the a. N. C. Is corruption for many young people this is a far more present issue than the partys post apartheid legacy but i want to go to plan if you manages his first most important task uniting his ruling party for the two thousand and nineteen elections his election as a. N. C. Leader in december was labeled as a turning point for south africa and now hes also the countrys new leader yeah. Christine singing and dancing and Parliament Everybody well lots of people very happy when should remember though that the pros only just begun his challenge it to become a. N. C. President so can he unite his fractured party and that is the big question its going to be a difficult balancing act to do that and ill tell you why he pretty much has a a mandate from the sun as a partner to tackle corruption in the first test of that will be when he assembles his cabinet is he going to appoint zuma knowing this countrys cabinet in the party that would be seen as heaving the divisions but in the face of the public that is not attacking corruption because a lot of zuma pick such as say are People Associated with corruption and so he is a very difficult balancing act in terms of managing expectations of the public sphere but also maintaining divisions within the party they are similar royalists who say we now give you our backing surely you can shine us. On corruption is a big users it is a big one and that is one of the most immediate challenges that he has and he has alluded to that in the address after being elected officially in the parliament lets hear it from the man himself full issues that have to do with corruption issues of how we can see those issues that we are going to be addressing and to morrow we will also have an opportunity to outline some of the steps that we are going to be taking. Ok so thats the new president looking forward what happens to the old president jacob zuma while we wait to see just how the law will take its course we know from hearing from opposition parties from civil Rights Groups within the south African Society they have made it clear that they will be pursuing courts to have them go off to prison jacob zuma of course we have talked about a president whose time in office has really been clouded by corruption allegations we know that a lot of those charges are going to stick phil that he would have to see his day in court so he is looking at not a peaceful retirement certain say but a lot of Court Appointments potentially coming up and we can see that justice is swiftly taking place we know that People Associated all those who do to be kristie a sort its a safe haven with the president of the crypt a family that has close ties with the president of that has been accused of having access to state resources because of a affiliation to prison jacob zuma the law is already camping down on those people and we expect that in no time president jacob zuma solve will have to be answering to a host of charges president retires to spend more time with his lawyers christine thank you. Another african head of states is stepping down in a surprise move ethiopias Prime Minister has announced that he is to resign saying here twenty thirty haile mariam a desolate and said hes Resignation Letter that he would continue in the role until the transition of power is complete and this comes amidst ethiopias worst antigovernment protests for a quarter of a century hundreds have been killed and tens of thousands detained on months of demonstrations calling for government reform and an end to corruption. In the United StatesPresident Trump has been speaking about yesterdays mass shooting in florida seventeen people were killed and many more injured when a nineteen year old gunman opened fire at a Florida High School where he used to be a student the suspect named by authorities as Nicholas Cruz was arrested and now faces seventeen charges of premeditated murder isnt except from President Trump speech our entire nation. With one heavy heart is praying for the victims and their families to every Parent Teacher and child who is hurting so badly. We are here for you whatever you need whatever we can do to ease your pain get moved to washington correspondent carson for naam. Welcome coston. There is a suspect in custody a gun lover who liked to show off his fire and bragged to bollock killing and im. Very disturbed a troubled boy as some neighbors said his mother had died last year and he had lived with another family which allowed him to keep his guns in their homes there were also a few incidents where you apparently posted some troubling comments on social media and still he purchased that fire that he used in this massacre a military style Assault Rifle and a ar fifteen he purchased that legally because there was no criminal records that could have been have against him so we know that he had these problems still he had those firearms but after all it seems that nobody still expected that this would happen it came sort of out of the blue as it does so often these cases were into the second month a v yeah by my reckoning this is the eighth u. S. School shooting this year did the president s make any mention of gun control. No you didnt as you said the figures are different some people say its the eighteenth School Shooting that depends on whether you count those incidents where someone might have committed suicide on the School Campus but yes this is a regular occurrence basically once a week theres a School Shooting down many emotional things all over the United States all the time we only report about the more spectacular tragic events really this is a major problem but the president didnt mention that at all he basically used all the right words if you like to comfort the victims and their families but he didnt say anything about what we need to do about this and this we have seen time and again the republicans saying this is not the time to talk about gun control they talk about this being an issue of Mental Health some republicans are calling for guns and schools in the u. S. Everywhere to prevent this from happening but they dont want to touch the issue of gun control and donald trump once again is no different here. Phenomena in washington thank you. This is datable years life still to come germany and turkey try to set aside their differences but the detention without trial of a german journalist is making progress difficult. For not just sludge marsh leading to radio. International Film Festival the same thing they are being filmed as an animated feature different this year the starring role played by the me to campaign against sexual buy. So let us go then to the first day. At its height. And David Leavitts down the red carpet welcome both opening right up to that ali whats going on right now. I dont so the World Premiere of Wes Andersons new movie isle of dogs this is a really fun movie and the red carpet has been really fun as well there was even some drumming sara yeah thats right they had this movie is set in japan so for the red carpet premiere they brought out some traditional japanese drummers and as the director and the voicing cast arrived wes anderson and bill murray jumped up on these drawings and just gave a little impromptu concert it was so cool we tried to get video of it for you it was just it all happened too fast but thats the kind of thing that happens on the regular girl an hour and the crowd out here just went crazy for it theres a lot of berliners out tonight hoping to get autographs hoping to get a glimpse of their favorite stars who we have i mean are there a lot of stars people getting autographs from Tilda Swinton shes also one of the voices in this movie who marie. Django ranson jeff gold bloom very tall man yes he was one of the few you could see over all the heads actually so we were really thankful for that it pays to be to also credit garrett for shes nominated for an oscar for her own film and lends her voice to this film aisle of dogs love excitement and its kind of. Well that theyre opening with an animated feature thats never happened in l. A. History and i look behind you i say that a lot of people queuing up to get your autographs i will try not to be too long you saw i love dogs what was it like. Well this is interesting because again its an animated film its directed by wes anderson if youve seen some of his other work the life aquatic royal tenenbaums moonrise kingdom its very much in the same vein its exactly like you would imagine a wes anderson film thats a cartoon. A bit of a deeper meaning doesnt it i mean its instead of being its about who you are and who we want to be as they say in the movie but its really inspired by japanese animation so this is a totally new term for him a turn for him youve also got a lot of japanese wood block aesthetic its very aesthetic overall like all of his movies and its just so much fun to listen to the dogs who are the stars of the movie and of the movie and just try to guess which voice is which oh thats just gold who. Is bill murray and freddie gurwitch thats why its better for the whole family because if you take your kids youll recognize the stars theyll be entertained by the dogs its fun for everyone and so it evokes all the glitz and glamour that many posh frocks i wonder what role has been played by this. Swept through hollywood has it which. Well one thing thats thats important to note is this is the first time that there is a gender balanced jury and one of the names that people were screaming was. A big belgian french actress and shes on the jury winner of words now its also. Its pretty cold in berlin weve seen some snowflakes comment on the womens wardrobe. Look its its berlin its february the fashion here is not what it is at kung. An orange sun dancers you know certainly not the Golden Globes of the oscars but me two is very much in focus here and thats something the festivals director Peter Cosgrove made clear from the get go and the way theyre doing that is trying to promote dialogue theyve got Panel Discussions set up for people to talk about the issue of female representation in film they also have counseling available for people who want to talk about experiences of discrimination or perhaps worse so me too is very much in the spotlight its in the forefront of a lot of peoples minds but this is a Grassroots Movement so well have to see how it unfolds here over the next ten days all right sara home of the David Leavitts down time brother inside out son to. European aviation giant boss has released its annual results and well thats pretty good annual profits jump to two point nine billion euros some two billion more than in the Previous Year but all clouds on the horizon in december boss announced a management shakeup in the wake of corruption allegations and then theres some trouble with some of this aircraft models that take a look a stall saying with the ailing a three eighty super jumbo which was almost counselled due to a lack of demand but which was given a lifeline last month when dubai based kariya emirates ordered thirty six of them then as well weve got the a four hundred m. Military transport plane it was commissioned back in two thousand and three but its been plagued by losses since then the technical problems but to moan for the a three twenty series well that remains relatively robust the narrow body jets are of special interest to Asian Airlines china for one is reportedly planning on a buy one hundred and eighty four of them this year and a bus just tested a long range trans Atlantic Ocean as well. Now high cut inflation has hit venezuela cash is increasingly short in supply which of course is bad news to everyone aside from a few Tech Companies that have been able to carve out a nation amid the crisis. This is the kind of scene you can expect if youre hoping to access cash in venezuela soaring prices have led to shortages in paper money and long lines at a. T. M. But the countrys hyper inflation has produced some surprise winners in the Business World small Tech Companies offering shoppers mobile payments one of them is very cold its founder says venezuelas economic crisis has sped up what was already a burgeoning trend. We saw in twenty ten and twenty eleven that early tronic payments were going to be a trend globally. Whats happened is that has accelerated in some countries for various reasons so perhaps our economy will become cashless before that of denmark which put more effort into payments in the market. Last year the company saw a thirty fold increase in customers those availing of the service say its made shopping easier. To make that so i would like to admit that i think that for me personally its very practical to pay with people because it enables transactions all the way that the only thing missing is more information about how to manage the art and its technology. Inform us you know that if i think that you know we have no money how we wind up developers in venezuela usually dont need too much starting capital salary expectations among coders are low and electricity and data costs next to nothing still the boom in mobile payment ups is a result of the bust in nearly every other sector of the economy. And these are not good days to be a pig in a china unafraid the burgeoning middle class whats more meat especially for number of pigs increasing from four hundred to seven hundred million in the space of a decade the solution to that factory. Its not exactly hog heaven but this is how a pigs life looks in china a small cage in a metal stall with computer controlled feeding using highly enriched soybeans by the end of the year ten thousand saudis will live here and their piglets will be turned into twenty thousand tonnes of pork its just one of several mass farms in southwestern china being built this year. Large scale farming means profits can only go up and margins will be bigger because we have reduced costs and resources. Not only the stalls are designed for efficiency so is the breeding in the laboratory next door technicians are working on imported semen to boost productivity for two years now china has spent ten billion dollars on expanding its mass production based on the american model ulick pigs have always been reared on what we call a pig farm but in fact a modern pig farm is more like a pig factory pig factory until now its been the traditional farms that have predominated more than half of meat comes from small farms like this one farmer she hung way has thirty eight salads hes already switched to soya feed to make them grow faster but thats not enough he has and. Both are cross specd for Small Farmers its tough to say if your house will carry on for another two to three or three to four years and then decide to quit myself i just dont know if. Its also a change for chinese consumers theyre often skeptical about mass farming but i do take the animals wellbeing into consideration but we have no way of knowing how the pigs are raised most of chinas pork now comes from mass production and thats brought stable prices but the meat cannot show how the pig lived. More business later first shell has the latest now on german turkish relations fell out of the thank you germany is that chancellor has been urging the turkish government to release the jailed a german journalist and its usual cause comments came during a beating in with turkish Prime Minister been. The issue has soured ties between the two countries and korea has hinted that there could be movement unusual case but said it could not interfere with the judiciary accuses germany of harboring leaders of two thousand and sixteen is failed. Turkeys Prime Minister was confronted by protesters outside the chancellery in berlin theyre calling for an immediate end to Turkish Military operations in Northern Syria as well as for the release of the jail german turkish journalist dennys huge a. Sense of i think its just incredible how in turkey people who are simply interviewing dissidents are being persecuted with fascist methods. Everybody should be angry about this they should be outraged and protest. Sign or important. Thats something the german chancellor is unable to do right although she has spoken of a souring of german turkish relations during her meeting with the older him machall also made it clear that germany insists on the rule of law especially in the case of dennys you joe. He has now been held including in jail for more than one year without charge. And thats why i have pointed out once again today that this case is of particular urgency for us but of course so are all the other cases. The turkish Prime Minister had little new to say about the usual case on wednesday he already hinted that things were changing for the better and that the matter is now for the courts to handle. And of course every negotiation means hope before i came here there was a question during an interview and my answer was if it comes to a negotiation then there is hope i repeat that now. But the meeting between machall and has also revealed that both sides are still miles apart. And we cannot believe this is a sign that there is interest on both sides to improve german turkish relations once again in our common interest. And probably also based on common values but at the moment it is not that easy. Even so germany and turkeys close cultural and historical ties mean the two governments will have to find a way to continue working together. To see if anything more than could have been achieved in a skype phone call that will ask of a solid Political Correspondent i welcome all of us did anything substantial come out of todays meeting that was very interesting to watch the two leaders there interacting with each other and how they tackled this issue this ongoing issue of dennis you chela the german chancellor when pretty pretty quickly to the point pretty straightforward when she repeated the german position that she wants a fast and fear proceedings against a dentist you chill and also repeated that it was a very urgent case for germany he. Thats nothing really new what we heard there today also when you listen to yield or him very interesting how long it took him to come to the point to start to explain and yet some explanations there why it took the turkish state so long to tackle this issue he said that he tackled the failed turkish coup attempt and said that because of that turkish courts are overstrained to deal with cases like this so it all sounded a bit like a bad excuse if you take into consideration that that is you jail has been waiting for about a year in jail not really knowing what he did wrong so what how would you describe the current starts of german turkish relations well there are bad of course the herself said they were very strained right now so there are a variety of reasons that have to do with the current political path turkey has taken under president ever do on the major obstacle for for improving these relations of course is dennis you joe and several other german german nationals that are held in custody in turkish jails or of a summit thank you. This is. Live from the budget and the next top model so go kill from a child soldier in syria from sierra leone about his new life in jail thanks. Theres no stopping the chinese dragon. Changing plans to rejoin the International Economic and see the Investment Initiative chinas goal is to develop a billion dollar trade network between asia and europe. But is beijing and the playing its hand still crude to prime time with chinas way to the top. Even for the slaves to. Climate change. Waste. Pollution its just. Isnt it time for. Eco africa people and projects that are changing the environment for the better its up to us to make a difference he could go. W. Place. The scars on some of. The pain still tangible. Place for god. For c. B. S. Edge but. They have survived do they also have a future. I really understand people who say they dont want to stay here. But i also admire people who want to stay here and who decided to create something. New beginning in peace time and more of the people making it possible what needs to happen here tolerance and reconciliation are to stand a chance to get. Out of starkers cities after a war. Starting march tenth on t w. As it did over the years live from baghdad heres our top story at this hour south Africas Parliament has elected a new president so ramaphosa takes over from former president jacob zuma after he have bowed to pressure from the ruling guy and seek to resign a string of corruption scandals. I just use a scorched earth frenzy on south africa not Financial Markets have a home for you said sorceress im sorry thats right phil its not just many South Africans that weve seen out on the streets investors sapir to have been jubilant as well over the news that the probusiness reformist Cyril Ramaphosa has replaced jacob zuma as president benchmark South African stocks climbing over three and a half percent on thursday chalking up their biggest daily gain in nearly three years and the countrys currency the rand also climbing to its highest in three years at over eleven sixty five to the us dollar broader african shares were also up today. Of course it could all mark the beginning of an economic turnaround analysts used to refer to south africa as the gateway to the continent the corruption has taken its toll. South africas economy took a beating under x. President jacob zuma its fall into recession the countrys bonds are rated junk and its political elite is no longer trusted. Due to political mismanagement its second largest city cape town is running out of water fast growth has declined steadily for more than three percent seven years ago to less than two percent in recent years one of the weakest rates of all of Subsaharan Africa. The countrys hope is resting on the newly elected president still rum opposes a former union leader whos become a wealthy businessman since he was appointed head of the Ruling African National congress in december the countrys currency has surged by ten percent against the dollar remember during the. Conference when the rains who are doing the election a window which would force the opposite thats a good sign that investors are banking on a change in south africas fortune. Well to talk more about the impact on the South African economy im joined now by Barnaby Fletcher and analyst at the Risk Consultancy firm control risk spawn to be zuma is out the countrys economy is in tatters as is or im a poser the man to turn it all around. Rove was as a very good reputation as a pragmatist as a skilled negotiator and he understands business from his own experience of course south africa has some deep rooted problems that set in undertaken suma you have a culture of corruption that is pervasive down to the lowest levels of government you have state owned companies that racked up significant debts these problems do not get solved overnight theyll take time to properly address but what roman poza can do is he can come in he can provide a level of policy certainty that has been lacking on the exuma presidency that frankly was distracted by the gambles and corruption we talk about those potential easy policy wins aside from that he does have to tackle corruption which goes to the heart of the a. N. C. As you mentioned and the a. N. C. Is also a party he badly needs to unite so how will he synthesize these two things. Thats a very good question as say the a. N. C. As a party is a party of populous and pragmatists and capitalists communists nationalists and panafrican this augury the key job of the president is to unify all those conflicting voices into a single coherent policy direction as i said something thats the im a failed to do kind of those that do this well it helps that a he doesnt rely on patton and systems and corruption he has his own wealth he himself has not been accused of any corruption he is likely to get rid of many of the ministers that have been implicated in corruption which sins of a powerful system signal that the culture of impunity will no longer be be tolerated. So he has an independent judiciary that he can rely upon to properly tackle and rule on the cross he is going to have to tackle this because Investor Confidence is key weve seen International Credit rating agencies downgraded south africa do you think the International Partners are now going to want to work with the country now that there has been a change of hands so as i said there are still deep rooted problems that will take time to address but it shouldnt be forgotten that south africa still has huge potential it is still augury the largest sophisticated market in Subsaharan Africa it has huge mineral wealth it has a Large Consumer base a good Manufacturing Sector and from a control respective re certainly you are seeing clients express interest in it and and hope for a level of policy clarity all right on to be fletcher and honest to control risks thanks for your insights. More Business News coming up later now back on the team phil helena thank you for the charity save the children has released a report looking at the effects of war on the young and most vulnerable it highlights the plight of child soldiers boys and girls forced to take up arms and fight about a quarter of a million children are being exploited by armed groups around the world the United Nations says fourteen countries are currently be crew to child soldiers they range from colombia in latin america to countries in the middle east asia and a host of central and west african countries. But a number of countries in which children are fighting have signed a un action plan to eliminate the use of child soldiers last week in the initiative for the body when three hundred children were released by armed groups in south sudan boys and girls took part in the laying down of the garden ceremony during which they were carried out with school bags to stop a new u. N. Hopes that another seven hundred child soldiers will be freed there in the coming weeks. So what is that life like and is this u. N. Initiative going to come to anything well Michael Davis was a child soldier in sierra leone during the civil war in the one nine hundred ninety s. Is that a kruger is managing director of save the children in germany welcome. Michael lets start with you. How did you come to be recruited how old were you or sixteen then sixteen and what happened mine are my own came one day and invited me on a journey to nearby city and know where the idea of the day we landed in the front line. What where did you tell you were going were going to the next city. You would you were just going out for the day shopping oh were just going on a short journey to the next city of course called bo and then we got there and before we knew we knew we had to join in and continue to. Go for the and before we knew we landed in the front line did your uncle know that this was going to happen guy knows so what so when so. This clearly comes as a surprise to you. What met you when you arrived in the city when when we got there it was strange because of it everything but when when you when you drive into the front line because its the car is quite a long long journey and us not used to get in there used to us in Everything Different because the smell and everybody everybody you see along the way like started and because most of the promised most part of the citys word is already broken down and so it was like sixteen years old we were just going to the next they say the next thing you know your in in the front line of shooting and firing thats what your uncles role in there is what does it what does your uncle say to you he was it was like you just you just do what what youre told to do just this is a normal thing that whatever the british had last year and it was in use you know what you dont do in the same team and that was how it started and the how the how this whole Program Going on and they had people who were really charge of it and figured the kids and i had your uncle force as well. In your body because hes been in this its been in doubt for a while i dont i dont know how long and because later i discovered a new dot in your in your body problem in bob bob and what that most of it must have he must have planned it or somehow i dont know but dallas so you arrived sixteen years old what does your life become. Yeah i was there until two thousand and one of the day i happened to have the chance to leave to move out when i go about freetown i. Met people through by chance and. I had the opportunity to move out of the country so i dont understand that really. Serve. As a civil war going on you know that sixteen years old seventeen years years old yeah you have been fighting with violet here and so how then do you escape or did it i didnt know how to read it you know i didnt usually wander away and then i know its its the was of site when its of side then we had the chance to get back to you get the chance to study cindy locations and you can look its not a day to day i happen to have a chance to get back to freetown so when i go back to freetown knowing that i had i dont want to really be i dont want to stay i dont you know you when you when you werent such a situation you start to think what youre going to do with your life because when you were there during during when everything was going on you were praying to survive and when you see when you stop and survive and get the disease is trying to find a safe a safe place and i happen to talk i happen to meet people who you know you have a lot of poor families abroad and god is clear about a broad trying to find a contact so how i feel personally to get it out. Your uncle said this is normal this is what children do clearly with this or you found this very disturbing and did was there any yet was there ever a time during it that you felt that it was noble was there ever a time during that time that you were happy. There was never a time that i was you know when you get that when its when it was like a shock when at first i was in a trance like it in a trance like situation because you were you i didnt get a feel of what was going to fall a long time before i knew it is going on here as it was was and because a lot of things go no and the only thing you do is you just remember you have a god you have to leave one day you get out of it. What im struggling with is clearly this beat you with through this and this is the this this traumatized you your uncle had been through this but he regarded this as noble so noble that he wanted to bring case nephew in what what was the difference in thinking that i really didnt know what was going on in his mind i didnt know what what do you what why why he why the whole thing went up with and this is a question that i used that ive been ive been like sure ive been struggling with. You know. Thank you for sharing that with us this is not a kruger from the save the children what does your organization think of this this you havent played the u. N. Plan to get countries that use child soldiers to stop that its a plan that we absolutely support of course we just published a report and in this report we see a growing numbers of stories that we have heard here from michael at this moment and from the ninetys we have seen a seventy five percent increase of children who live in war torn cities countries or in or itself which means one in six children is living through Something Like that right now and that of course we support Something Like that you just mentioned from the u. N. But the thing about this u. N. Plan is that any country that is so desperate that it would use a children to kill each other why would they willingly stop what is in it for them i think it is the International Organizations and it is other countries that have to come together and really put pressure on these countries because they wont come for themselves and say we are going to stop now its also organizations like us that have to do advocacy and have to say this has to stop perpetrators have to be held accountable and states have obligations to International Rights as well so this is the only way i guess through advocacy and through listening to stories like this except this this also is quite high level michael. Can you see this working because im so i get im struggling with it i struggle to see how governments so desperate for to do the truth that they will use children that are going to listen to some organization from miles away telling yes place rich stop that because its a bad idea. I i struggle with this all these years and i see the functions its these off you know wars and these in these small countries you feel groups coming up and groups coming up in the name of support in trying to help the government and quit in some crisis and this group like recruiting for friend not does does this groups recruit not in a formal way fighters thats the problem and then does this group are allowed to recruit because of course they are all fighting to support to do coup to quell down the war in the country in the name of quelling than you want to control happen the government and so they did did it could mean its not really guided its not really guys. Its going to be difficult you dont know who to negotiate with and so the government that the government itself probably taking them out of it and leaving is about leaving its a group of thousands to get over the nations and go out of. Your arms at this you know what is your life like now. In germany i mean i know for. A social worker i did my schooling here in germany and write childrens books and i am a free marketer and i and i just do it yeah my life is good and i dont use it and yeah and i try to i try to let people know that these children need help people the victims of war all over the world they need help that people should come out and really support and support the teachers of yeah thank you both. For having pleasure to speak to michael dangerous criticizing for. This is day that we knew his life from him still to come. And sport will find out if one of them is to highly touted young skaters heading into the Winter Olympics could live up to the high. Technology develops people become increasingly worried about their privacy scores and to view their social media accounts with growing suspicion a reporter called nasa has been looking into a persistent ruba involving facebook lots of people suspect of eavesdropping on their phone conversations in order to deliver creepily perfect ads across the companys platforms. To. Hear karl is it digital paranoia or is there something to it i think people are paranoid you know this is a rumor that just wont go away that facebook is using the microphone in your smartphone to listen to conversations and then give you this ad about exactly what youre talking about we even asked our viewers about this we were flooded with responses one of the many stories we got was from curtis kormos he lives in canada he says he was just proposed to his girlfriend when something kind of strange happened. The only communication i had made a boat. Was be a text message. I was sitting at home just kind of killing time on the social media account when i started seeing the ice on instagram there was like wedding bands or men right away i thought that was kind of. I dont know about you but i think thats pretty creepy creepy stuff yeah im not big fan of social media anyway. So what do you think is going on we wanted to find that out is facebook really listening to the company is of course denied it but facebook has not always been very upfront with this behavior so we said hey lets test it out and this is what we did Mr Zuckerberg mark mark you there. So i got this new phone created a new facebook account shows its really key words that are completely unrelated to me that would be very diapers and guitar i said those words are constantly into my phone like a crazy person or i had a facebook app open to see if i get any ads that were related to those words day one i did get this post was for vague and mannys other than that though you can see the ads fairly unrelated to anything i was saying so we did this for more than a week we concluded facebook ninety nine percent is not listening to us besides that one post not an ad with a vegan food in it just didnt get anything for these keywords except its you if you were a conspiracy theorist which i tend to be sometimes the first well the first time you do it it means. That you were just messing about leads you to it they knew we were testing it i dont think so i mean i wasnt surprised by the results here theres a lot of good reasons why facebook is not listening to you lets run through some of those right now i mean look for one phil if Facebook Says its not doing it and its lying the company would face big fines from regulators in the u. S. Of course of a big backlash they do have to be caught first. This will break the rules of the Apple App Store as well as google play and look just technically you need so much server space there are two billion monthly users you cant just listen in on everybody plus youd notice that your battery werent would run out faster than usual youd have data issues sending all this audio data right and as you were mentioning before that facebook doesnt need to listen to us they know everything about us already they track everything you do on the site when you live like or click on something they even track us offline facebook buys Third Party Information maybe your Credit Card Debt as they know what youre buying the bottom line though is trust and many of the people that we spoke to just dont trust facebook the only way that i would be absolutely convinced that theyre not doing it is if they were under. By the congress to disclose if they were in fact doing this thats literally the only way i would be like ok now i ninety five percent sure that theyre not doing it ninety five fors i dont know how we can get people to that last five percent to be one hundred percent sure theyre not was her the biggest argument against facebook listening into our conversations is really most of us were just not that interesting a margin i dont think so massive in fact here. The first day of the burden of first of all is the way my colleagues sara holland and david literates avera welcome both is this a typical bell that only opening how does it compare to last year. You know its interesting you know last year lets go back in time trump had just been elected we opened with a really political film john go about a musician who was fleeing nazi occupied france this year we open with a wes anderson animated feature i think its safe to say this year has been more light hearted a feature about dogs and there were drag queens on the red carpet there was told us winton bill murray a larger than life very different from last year and i think thats pretty welcome for a lot of brutal is always a little bit political but this year is nothing like last year. I. Got a couple of drag queens thrown in there about two years ago battle straight ahead of the last. Big star the shit well im hoping that meryl streep is still lurking around somewhere i havent seen this year its not a movie star it is a director its time to cry are known for run lola run of course and american audiences may know him from babylon berlin this huge series set in the one nine hundred twenty s. Berlin just started on netflix and his International Star is rising it is and weve got a closer look so here is time to crack the director of this years jury. The jury held their customary press Conference Ahead of screening their first film understandably perhaps one of the questions had to do with the me to debate jury president tom took four pointed out that it was an issue that affects all working environments. And i think its really important that this topic moves a bit away from individual personality related cases and is taken seriously in terms of its content and what is negotiated its a matter of work ethic its a matter of abuse of power it deals with topics with an important content which is at times of a shattered by the debate of when someone has misbehaved one. Began shooting his first films on super eight at the age of eleven then he worked in movie theaters for years including as a film programmer his International Breakthrough came in one nine hundred ninety eight with the fast paced and innovative run lola run the girl with the red hair in a life or death race against time became an icon of german film. And his latest coup is the acclaimed german t. V. Series babylon berlin a global hit sold in more than sixty territories now tom to close heading the jury that will decide what film wins the golden bear. So chops whats coming up tomorrow. Rood tomorrow we have damsels starring Robert Pattinson and this is a western comedy its being billed as sort of a new Blazing Saddles i dont know about you im pretty excited to see Robert Pattinson in a comic role yeah i think its going to be a pretty big turnaround from his brother were used to the vampire i know that youre a big fan of that and im going to im going to werewolf personally but i think its going to be a miniature pony of this time so hes trying to move away from that hes not just the twilight actor anymore lets go to the fair chance or im willing to open my mind i want to open minds all right well well come back and see what you thought they were lets thank you. They six out of a went to elaborate shot of not having from v. W. Sports is here to talk us through the action welcome thats big news from skiing to races crowded shuttle yeah indeed they had to cancel quite a number of races because of high winds and so they faxed two races into one day they had the womens giant slalom which was won by one of the sort of recently anointed perhaps future queen of downhill skiing one mckayla shifrin she came through in the crotch got a big win and that giant slalom shes actually going to be going to try and go back to back in the slalom she won that event in twenty fourteen and this one picks she wants to claim for shes not going to be competing in the super g. Because you know running three races in three days might be a bit much but she is going to compete the downhill end of the combines as you can compete against one of her idols lindsey vonn and the mens downhill the other race run today it was won by axel he is thirty five years old which makes him the oldest person ever to win a downhill gold medal makes me think that maybe i should have had a go. Greg i would say and a couple of teams in trouble the ones at least looking good doing indeed indeed we got norway and they are. Making the scene in their fancy pants again theyve been doing it since twenty ten twenty fourteen this time theyve got a sort of felt for a flag no team going theyve done diamonds and stripes and flags in the past and get ready for the next business day yesterday for valentines day they had multicolored pink hearts pants and you know these these pants are kind of the tells of the olympics they have their own Facebook Fan Page but unfortunately norway arent winning in these and they havent lost their first two matches against canada and japan and the other big surprise is the canadian womens team they actually won the gold medal four years ago they have lost their first two matches as well so theyve got a hole to take out and can you tell us about the jamaican bobsled a womens team in under twenty seconds yeah its a big controversy there they have a german coach who helped them sort of train them up for the olympics and got them a very nice new sled they also demoted that coach took her out of her role she doesnt want to coach anymore she wants to take her bobsled and go home but im with matt here if you know what may have caused how this left right sarah is standing by to give you the headlines at the top we are have a good day.
